  • stryato alex was at dreamcatcher :( (@stryato) reported

    Im still confused what stops overwatch from taking valorant direction, keep everything the same but then pick a certain place for the teams to travel. Maybe visa but thats no problem in val, idk

  • K_Lemonz Kat (: (@K_Lemonz) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN Hello. I bought the OW 2 beta, but I have not been able to access since Monday. I uninstalled, and reinstalled, reset my router but nothing worked. All my other games including overwatch 1 work fine. It's been inaccessible followed by an error: unable to login.

  • Seur101 Seur (@Seur101) reported

    As an Overwatch player I always felt it was odd competing at a high level against full contenders level teams who were all online. Unless there is serious financial/medical issues with proof players shouldn’t be allowed to play online imo. Collegiate is t3 not t2.

    @ColonelMusturd @assfuckem Don’t you have a broken overwatch league bracket to cry over ?

  • WandaDimitrescu baylee 🌻 (@WandaDimitrescu) reported

    @BlizzardCS can you PLEASE address the issue I have reached out to you all about like 3 times now about how Overwatch crashes and freezes upon boot up on windows 11 and the only way to fix this is with a second monitor that has task manager open to end it or to hard shut down?

  • YeetBsbakery ☀️Yeetbread☀️ (@YeetBsbakery) reported

    @Awesauce1YT Not to mention it would’ve been an insult to both Actiblizz and the FPS genre as a whole if an Overwatch character got in because people want Crash infinitely more than anything from Overwatch from Actiblizz and everyone wants Doomslayer in as the FPS rep. Luckily Doom won.

  • k_harson Benjamin K. Harson (@k_harson) reported

    @WARFAREMCHINE @L0SSY How is this an overwatch operator? Also, Falck doesn't even look like a person, she suffers from the same problem as old Weyland which makes her look 100 times uglier than anyone you would find when you google middle aged woman.

  • ProjectXbox17 Xbox 007 (@ProjectXbox17) reported

    @KaizerAllen @AbdulTheArabGuy @mr_evaporation Basically big service based games like COD Warzone and Overwatch 2. They'll probably keep COD on Playstation but a new Diablo after 4, or a new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk will absolutely be exclusive

  • Megamgstudios MegaMGstudios💙💛 (@Megamgstudios) reported

    [3] What's a bit weird is that the loading screen for the practise range is still from early Overwatch one, but that's not a big issue. The new engine (I presume) does make the lighting a bit nicer, but it's not really noticeable after a bit.

  • Teckatloz Collen (@Teckatloz) reported

    @ExpandDong15 Traer and Widowmaker could be very broken but, to be honest, I wouldn't mind if we have an Overwatch rep

  • minseghim - (@minseghim) reported

    i wanna play overwatch but my dads computer is broken 😕

  • SMagikarp93 ❄💜Ranni💜❄ (@SMagikarp93) reported

    Got kicked off overwatch in a competitive match with the error server is down. Like hell it ******* is you ******* just kicked me off and we lost cause of it. How about you fix your **** *** servers cause dragonflight is gonna be **** if you can't handle servers. Be better ffs.

  • _primey Brian (@_primey) reported

    The overwatch league token system is so broken, I'm not getting the right amount of tokens for the amount of time I watch the streams

  • BRASSKNUCKL3S 〘 Sett 〙 (@BRASSKNUCKL3S) reported

    //please I just wanna play overwatch stop lagging my game.

  • UglyKeyb MrKeyb (@UglyKeyb) reported

    @ItsBazerker @SilentDangan @PlayXDefiant Imagine overwatch tank controls but cod time to kill but long respawns but people spam jump and shoot with 100 percent accuracy and people under the map kill you constantly and most games end in an error and you have to open the game all over again to find a match. Want it now?

  • SPRINGLOCK217 the springlock (1732 days, no tf2 updates) (@SPRINGLOCK217) reported

    dawg i haven’t even broken the 40 likes threshold (not even 30 for all but one) on a single sfm since the last tf2 and overwatch ones what ******** happened to me lmao

  • konboy1023live Konboy1023live (@konboy1023live) reported

    Overwatch is "We are gonna reinstall Paladins and try to fix the graphical problem again" level of unplayable

  • Anubirai Anubirai (@Anubirai) reported

    If you're having issues converting from the expansion back to regular Overwatch's sensitivity, try turning it up by 0.50. Worked wonders for me. #Overwatch #Overwatch2 #overwatchsensitivity

  • joaquiniv_ joaquinxgg (@joaquiniv_) reported

    True gamers intuitively play over the games that are experiencing staleness. I just knew to switch over to overwatch recently and i’m seeing Apex crumbling with server issues and a boring *** rank split of world’s redundant edge.

  • SoloZen_OW SoloZen (@SoloZen_OW) reported

    @madsiesss @B3rt_ssbu @b0gur I can confirm support feels weak in overwatch 2, it seems like they’re trying to fix it. But atm having one less tank means your frontline is near non existent and it’s the enemies job to kill you and target you. It’s like I’m playing main tank but without the 600 health.

  • notmireille miri (@notmireille) reported

    Just wanna play genshin and it keeps saying connection failed despite my internet being no issue gg overwatch it is i guess

  • Jake_The_Silent Jacob McClendon (🎙/🎨) (@Jake_The_Silent) reported

    Multiversus is decent so far, but man, I feel like it suffers the same problem as Overwatch where I just can't tell what the hell is going on sometimes. That might be a me problem, but I feel like it could do with the ability to minimize some of the effects.

  • porkussy_book pig e_books (@porkussy_book) reported

    hey i want her to ******* play Overwatch I get reminded that they made a fuckton of the roster unfun to play Destiny 2, I just hope my computer doesn't have issues running it.

  • ImFeelingBleu Bleu (@ImFeelingBleu) reported

    Okay how does Crash 4 compare to the remakes? Cause this is the most frustrated I've been over a video game since ******* Overwatch and League and those are PvP games

  • JustARealRacoon A Real Racoon (@JustARealRacoon) reported

    @tomfromtheweb So it is basically the issue of do we define gambling by the randomness or by the chance of a return on investment. If I pay for a league or overwatch lootbox there is NEVER a return on investment, whereas a CSGO crate there is a possible return on investment. Just a thought.

    @PlayOverwatch I just bought overwatch 2 and it refuses to let me login in wtf
